Blomgren posted a double-double in the first half and fueled No. 4 Lunenburg with a game-high 13 points and 20 rebounds in a convincing, 42-27 triumph at beautiful and new John Brissette Gym on the campus of Worcester State University.

"I wanted to win really bad, so I gave everything," Blomgren said.

Now, Blomgren and Lunenburg get their wish of playing in a CMass. final. The Blue Knights (16-6) face No. 7 Grafton in Saturday's 1:30 p.m. final at WPI.

Grafton defeated No. 3 Littleton, 60-48, in the other semifinal.

The Indians have been red-hot in the playoffs with wins over No. 10 Nipmuc, No. 2 Oakmont and now Littleton.

"This is unbelievable," said Lunenburg junior guard Elise Lilly, who nailed three treys for nine points. "It's amazing to get even to the semifinals, and it's an amazing feeling to get to the finals this year."

Sutton, which defeated Tyngsboro and top-seeded and undefeated Millbury to get to the semifinals, simply ran into a rock-solid defensive unit from Lunenburg.

The Suzies (15-8) scored only two points in the first quarter and mustered only eight points at the half.

"I told them that defense will win this game and it will win the next couple of games," Lunenburg coach Frank Greene said. "This is the playoffs, we had to play tough and play strong."

The center was relentless on the offensive and defensive boards, and posted a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds in the first half.

After Lilly splashed a trey from the top of the arc, Blomgren started displaying her relentlessness in the post.

She battled down low for possession of the ball, grabbed it and kissed a shot off the glass for two.

Blomgren scored on back-to-back low-post buckets -- she finished strong on the right side and used her left a possession later to give the Blue Knights a 9-2 advantage.

"Sarah, in my opinion, is probably one of the most important players on the team," Lilly said.

"She gives our whole team energy and she gives us life."

Lilly kept Sutton honest from the outside with another trifecta, as Lunenburg jumped out to a 12-2 lead after the first quarter.

"We came out really strong in the first quarter," Blomgren said.

Sutton, which registered only two field goals in the first 16 minutes of the game, cut the deficit to 12-5 after Natalie Fraioli (6 points) hit one free throw and Lauren Arthaud knocked down a long 2-pointer.

But Lunenburg continued its strong defensive play thanks to Blomgren patrolling the paint and altering or blocking shots, while gobbling up rebound after rebound. On offense, the Blue Knights kept feeding her in the half-court set as well.

Blomgren scored her fourth field goal of the half from down low, and later muscled up for a rebound and powered up for her ninth and 10th point of the half.

Sutton's second and final bucket of the half came from Mackenzie Cox, who had a rebound put-back. Sutton cut the deficit to nine points, 23-14, in the third after Cox's penetrating drive and bank off the window, but Lunenburg kept pressuring and scoring.

Kelly Gearin got into the scoring act with a fast-break bucket off a steal and then dialed from long distance to push the lead to 29-14. Speedster Kylie Hill scored all five of her points in the second half, and Sierra Heppler contributed with two buckets in the fourth quarter. "It's great to win. It's unbelievable," Blomgren said. "I'm super excited that we get to play in the finals, and we have a chance at winning the districts."
